Under Village Law, the Town Clerk must schedule the election within 10 days and provide at least 20 days’ notice as to date and location.

Mr. Feiner has acknowledged receipt of the decision and that it requires an election. In response to a resident's inquiry about whether he will appeal (which is his decision alone, not the Town Board's), Mr. Feiner responded: “I am reviewing the decision with our attorneys and will only appeal if we think we have a good case.”

Mr. Feiner has up to 30 days to appeal, which means he could pull the plug on an election with a mere 10 days to go.

We hope Mr. Feiner provides some transparency in his thinking. Given the decision’s strong language, an appeal seems like a long shot. Continuing to thwart Edgemont’s now-court-ordered vote will delay an election that Mr. Feiner himself has said is inevitable. It will ultimately serve no purpose other than costing taxpayers unnecessarily while keeping the future uncertain for many, including unincorporated taxpayers, Edgemont voters, and Town employees.

Of course, if Mr. Feiner does appeal, we will seek to expedite so that uncertainty can be minimized.

On Monday, the Town will make the next $600,000 Fortress Bible bond payment (with a $3M balance outstanding). Greenburgh's unincorporated taxpayers alone must service this expensive liability, which resulted from the Town's violation of a church's constitutional rights.

If you live in Edgemont and have household members who are not registered to vote (including children under age 18 and people who are non-US citizens), please email us at edgemont2019@gmail.com with the names and addresses of all those household members.

Our efforts to secure Edgemont residents the opportunity to vote on our preferred form of local governance have continued throughout the summer. Read below to learn more about the status of the Article 78 and other developments.

Anti-Incorporation and Town led "Edgemont Community Forum" held an event on Wednesday where they brought in a former non-profit, independent governmental consultant, CGR, previously hired by Greenburgh. CGR provided a preliminary view based on the data available on the potential property tax bill impact to the residents of Edgemont.
